We offer new tools & methods to physicians and the health care community to improve developmental care in practice.
EDSI is transforming the health care system for the better, our initiative is rapidly growing but we need your support to continue our success and reach new heights together.
We empower parents to discover the nuances of how their child is developing at every step. Our program helps connect parents, children, pediatricians, and community organizations.

EDSI is already making a difference, but we’re not doing it alone.


We grow as our supporters and partners grow.

Innovation within any complex system requires new methods and tools for collaboration. That’s why we’ve forged partnerships that create new pathways for professionals to collaborate across disciplines and beyond walls. The EDSI approach currently reaches hundreds of physicians, and through our work with local WIC programs we’ve been able to reach several hundred thousand parents. Together our work has impacted the lives of over 100,000 children.

We partner with innovative leaders like First 5 LA to accomplish our goals and spread our work. There are many ways you too can get involved and support us.

First 5 LA has been a leading partner and primary funder for EDSI, allowing us to reach and positively affect hundreds of thousands of children in Los Angeles.

We have partnered with the American Academy of Pediatrics in Los Angeles and Orange County as part of our national drive to transform developmental care.

EDSI has teamed with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the United States, to reach children when it matters most.
